NYSL Promotions Reveals How to Avoid Burnout

January 8, 2016

We at NYSL Promotions are passionate and driven about our work. However, we still face burnout from time to time because it is impossible to constantly give 100 percent. Fortunately, we have learned a few ways to rebound from creative burnout. Try some of these techniques the next time you are struggling to keep working:

• Take a Break: The most effective way to overcome a feeling of burnout is to stop working momentarily. This will help your mind reset and reenergize. Additionally, you may get some new inspiration while you aren’t working.

• Exercise: Working out isn’t just healthy for your body, it is stimulating for your mind. At NYSL Promotions, we have found that consistent exercise is one of the most beneficial habits in terms of improving productivity and creativity.

• Make an Inspiration File: One of the best resources at your disposal is the work of those you admire. Create a paper or digital inspiration file that you can look through whenever you are feeling creative roadblock.

• Change Your Environment: If you are working at the same desk in the same office for an extended period of time, it can be easy to slip into a rut. A quick solution is to move somewhere else and work there for a while. Perhaps you can go outside or to your favorite coffee shop.

These tactics for overcoming burnout have reenergized us at NYSL Promotions on many occasions.
